1) Understanding failure

Failure is perceived differently by each individual but inevitably it is the state when we disappoint others and ultimately ourselves. In order for you to turn your failures into success you must be able to identify your failures!

2) Persistence

Although failure can be mentally challenging you must resist the urge to give up! You must learn to understand that each failure brings you one step closer to your success! As the famous saying goes “It's okay to fail at something over and over, but as soon as you give up altogether—that's the real failure.”

3) Life goes on

Failure isn’t the end of the world! Although at the time it may feel like your life is over, everybody fails at some stage. Each failure shouldn’t be dwelled upon for too long, it should simply be seen as a learning curve that will help you in the future.

4) Change your perspective on failure

One of the best things you can do is change your perspective on failure. Naturally we associate failure with negativity but, once you start associating failure with positivity it can really change your life! “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”- Michael Jordan

5) Talk to somebody

If you are really struggling to overcome your failures don’t hesitate to talk to somebody about it. Talking to someone about your problems can make you feel drastically better. Chances are whoever you talk to will try to help you fell better!
